ArchiCAD 15 enriches architectural forms available for designers to unleash their creative minds. The new version also expands the scope of the BIM workflow to include renovation & refurbishment projects. Ideally, building design is not an exercise on paper; the real results are the finished building. With ArchiCAD 15, you don’t have to compromise on design freedom or structural correctness. ArchiCAD 15 offers an impressive array of real BIM design tools and workflows right from the beginning of the design process.

ArchiCAD gives users the ability to create great architecture and increase productivity. From day one, ArchiCAD has been designed by architects for architects, and over the years it has gradually become more and more refined to allow its users to better: Focus on design, Manage change, Evaluate design alternatives, Collaborate, Coordinate.

ArchiCAD 14 continues delivering productivity improvements for architects throughout the full cycle of the BIM workflow with a specific focus on completing the integration of the architectural workflow with the engineering world. Great architecture requires collaboration of all design disciplines. Architects have a central role in coordinating all aspects of their design with other disciplines during the entire design process. ArchiCAD 14 turns IFC technology into full-fledged workflow solutions enabling collaboration with engineers regardless of their discipline or the name and version of the application they prefer working with. This "open" approach to interdisciplinary collaboration greatly broadens designers' options for real Integrated Project Delivery (IPD) resulting in faster delivered projects and significantly less coordination errors.

In the last couple of weeks we have found and fixed a few serious dimension loss problems in ArchiCAD 15. In order to give a prompt solution to these problems we have created Hotfix-3 (Build 3632) containing these bugfixes.

ArchiCAD15 enriches architectural forms available for designers to unleashtheir creative minds, and it also expands the scope of the BIM workflowto include renovation & refurbishment projects. The evolution offorms has always walked hand-in-hand with the evolution of structures.From the simplest barrel vaults to the most sophisticated rib vaults,the architect has always aspired to combine durability, utility andbeauty (Vitruvius). These very principles can be seen in the finestexamples of Modern architecture as well. ArchiCAD 15 expands the designcapabilities of its BIM tools, including new Shell structures, tosupport the broadest spectrum of architectural shapes and forms found inboth classical and modern architecture.

ArchiCAD 17 contains significant enhancements and additions that simplify the modeling and documentation of buildings even when the model contains an unprecedented level of detail. ArchiCADвЂ™s end-to-end BIM workflow allows the model to stay live till the very end of the project.
